SpringBoot Profiles: Replace Properties Files
In SpringBoot, Profiles can be used as an alternative to properties files for configuration. Profiles are a flexible way to load different configurations based on different environments or conditions.
You can specify the current profile by using the spring.profiles.active property in the application.properties or application.yml file. For example:
spring.profiles.active=dev
Next, define different configurations in separate configuration files, such as:
- development application properties
server.port=8080
- development properties file
server.port=80
When launching the application, you can specify the Profile to use via command line parameters, for example:
java -jar myapp.jar --spring.profiles.active=prod
This allows for loading different configurations based on different profiles, achieving flexible configuration management.
